Xu Qian had completed the procedures to retrieve Xie Huifang's remains, and the next day he took them to the crematorium. Afterward, he collected the ashes and took them to a nearby temple for the ritual services.
All the necessary procedures were followed without exception, and it wasn't until the third day that they set off for Xu Qian's grandmother's ancestral home.
It was a small village on the outskirts of North City, over a thousand kilometers away from Yunzhou.
The group set out early on the eleventh day and did not reach the small town closest to the village until six in the evening.
The town was particularly small and did not have a single guesthouse.
Jiang Yan got out of the car to inquire and found that the only lodging available was fifteen kilometers away in the county town.
The group spent the night in the county and set off early the next day for the Xie Family Village.
